    Two experimental Kallitypes I made last night. Shows some promise. These were made based on Richard Puckett's "dry" print out platinum technique, except using silver. The reddish brown image on the left is 20% silver nitrate mixed with the special ammonium ferric ferrous oxalate and printed out. The more blue gray one on the right is the result of exposing with only the AFFO on the paper, and then brushing silver nitrate on it after exposure, then processing as usual (wash and fix, no developer needed with these techniques). I think the one on the right needed at least another minute or two exposure to look its best.
    These are printed directly from a 5x7 negative, HP5+. It's fairly contrasty and dense in the highlights.

    Not quite sure what I've done here, but I really like it. Was just trying some new things. Home made liquid emulsion (coated with glass rod), develop, bleach and re-develop in Arista Lith Developer. Crazy cool watching the colors come up. The texture does strange things with the browns and oranges (browns on the ridges and oranges in the valleys).

    Vary nice image Dan, but come on, you can't just say something like "Home made liquid emulsion" without giving details - I am pretty sure that is in the forum rules.

    "Home Made Liquid Emulsion" - Emulsion formula #1 in Martin Reed and Sarah Jones book "Silver Gelatin" - Iodo-bromide silver gelating emulsion. My first try at making my own.

    I don't normally use paper with a texture and liquid emulsion because I do a lot of Bromoils with it. However, had this old paper sitting around and decided to try it out to see how the emulsion worked. Now I need to see if it was a fluke or if I can repeat it again.

    Re: post alternative techniques

    My first successful(?) alt print. I'm in two minds about it and would appreciate opinions please. Entry for last year's WWPD. Kodak Dental Panorama X-ray film (exp. 2009) cut down to 5x7, D=76 1+1 8 min. Inkjet digital neg. on Pictorico.
    Mike Ware's New Cyanotype on Bergger Cot 160 paper, toned in 1% tannic acid. The tannic acid has the unfortunate property of staining the paper, and of course the application of sensitiser is patchy. But thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

    Re: post alternative techniques

    I personally really like the tones in new Cyanotype. Wonder why to toned it away with tannic acid. The important question is do you like this version better than the original Cyanotype. I would like to see both if possible. I think the very warm tone of this detracts from the contrast range that the original cyanotype probably has - but that is just my opinion.
